About

I'm a data analyst with a chemical-engineering foundation and a self-taught grounding in machine learning and deep learning. Right now I'm helping build production AI products while moving fully into AI safety, to me one of the most consequential problems of the coming decades.

I pair analytical rigour with hands-on ML and an entrepreneurial track record of shipping technology that serves real communities. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
